  1. On the re-materialization of the virtual.Ismo Kantola - 2013 - AI and Society 28 (2):189-198.
    The so-called new economy based on the global network of digitalized communication was welcomed as a platform of innovations and as a vehicle of advancement of democracy.

    In this article, we ask why is it that sociology has been slow to take up the animal challenge, and ask what would happen if it did.

This can be remedied by viewing non-human animals as involuntarily embedded in social (...)
